When I asked Amazon about this, a spokeswoman told me, “We’ll have to ask you to stay tuned for an upcoming announcement.” The company declined to comment on timing.

The banner, on the Kindle home page, is in the Harry Potter font and isn’t clickable.

The announcement surely makes us wonder, but hopefully we will learn very soon what the banner is all about.

Editor’s note: We suspect this means that Harry Potter e-books will be available on Amazon.com. Presently, Kindle owners who want to purchase the books are sent from Amazon’s site to the Pottermore Shop. After this announcement, you may be able to purchase the books directly on Amazon’s site or your Kindle.

That’s it??? Why make an ‘announcement’ for this? I agree with @belac889:disqus Sony has got its own (ebook) Reader. So, why would Potter ebooks be available through Amazon directly for the Kindle (a product of Amazon)? Maybe Pottermore did decide to drop Sony as its sponsor and replace it with Amazon.

I’m still annoyed that even though I’m a Prime member, I can’t borrow books because I use a Kindle app on my Android tablet instead of buying a separate e-reader.

But maybe they’ll release a new Kindle with an HP design that’s pre-loaded with all seven books or something…
